Re: anybody out there??
 

new pic

Re: anybody out there??
 

think it will get 100 :D

Re: anybody out there??
 

I don't know about 100. for that matter do want to do 100 in it?

Re: anybody out there??
 

probaly not this is one for a friends outerlimits .1300hp I would like mid 80s .would like to know if it has been done in a 29 profile?

Re: anybody out there??
 

yes it is possible. I had a 95 27 with 454mag efi ran about 70. my buddie had a 96 29 with 500hp ran mid 70s. he sold it to a guy that put a blower on it and it ran low80s. Just be very carefull with the jumping and such as they aren't as strong as you think. ck your motor mounts and transom.

Re: anybody out there??
 

I've got a 308 with a bad (partially removed) transom... this was NOT profile's fault. Someone had put a speedo pitot on it and didn't seal the hole that they drilled for it. Next thing you know the transom is full of water. Oh well.

Maybe I'll get it fixed (or sell it) this winter, who knows.

Re: anybody out there??
 

oh, yeah. I'm glad to finally see a Profile section here.

Re: anybody out there??
 

I painted this 26' for a friend earlier this year. It is now on the front page of the Profile web site at www.profilepowerboats.com.

Re: anybody out there??
 

You did a great paint job for Don

Re: anybody out there??
 

Dean could really liven up this morgue with happy talk!

Re: anybody out there??
 

Thanks, however I am trying to put a name to your signature! BTW: NICE FIRST POST!!!!! :drink:

Re: anybody out there??
 

You don't know me. I had met Don and his wife when they were purchasing there boat up in Wisconsin.

Re: anybody out there??
 

Just came back from Las Vegas and realized someone started a Profile forum.Here's some pics of my 96 27' powered by a 454 Mag.I run the boat in Mt Hope bay(Southeastern MA and RI) and hopefully some other places next summer now that I have a new tow rig.Let's see some of the other Profiles out there.

Re: anybody out there??
 

Here's the new tow rig also.2005 Lariat shortbox dually with a 6.0 liter powerstroke diesel and only 5500 miles.I absolutely love the truck.It only had 3800 miles when I bought it a month ago.I can't stop driving it.

Re: anybody out there??
 

look'n good jbyrd65 :cool: I remember that boat well and it still looks good :cool:

Re: anybody out there??
 

Thanks,I appriciate that cosmic12.I just winterized the boat today.What a bummer.I can't wait till next summer.Best of luck in selling your boat.It's a great looking boat.

Re: anybody out there??
 

So they make a 29' single, how much with a 496 ho-525 hp ?

Re: anybody out there??
 

Yes the 29 that they make comes with a 496 or 525, I can tell you the cost tomorrow night.

Re: anybody out there??
 

Catmando,I was actually looking for a SRW truck also until I ran across this one and fell in love.I was concerned the ride quality with the short bed and dual wheels would be harsh but it is surprisingly good over normal bumps.I plan on moving up to a 32' or 37' boat so I figured I would be safe.I have a company demo so I don't have to drive it every day.I can keep the mileage down for some killer road trips next summer.Is it here yet!!!

Re: anybody out there??
 

I am looking more at an Active Thunder.Possibly an Outerlimits if I can find an older 37 for short money(yeah right) but it will have to wait for now.Hopefully it will be sooner than later.The only thing better than the sound of one big block is two of them.What a country!!!

Re: anybody out there??
 

It was wet almost all the way across. I have most of it torn out. You can see what I've done in these pictures:

Re: anybody out there??
 

is it one of the ones he did with balsa???

Re: anybody out there??
 

I guess that would depend on wether a person could do the work himselft...

The transom would probably cost 2500 to have done, but could be done yourself cheaper.
Two sheets of marine grade plywood = $200
5-7 gallons of vinylester = $200-$250
cloth and mat = $200
($650-$750 for the transom)

There is still one wiring harness in the boat and the wires for the trim and tabs are still there. They would just need to be re-terminated.

I still have the steering cable for it as well. You could get another tilt helm (<$120) and steering wheel.

You can get a set of guages from SSCompetition for $114.

I just sold a 454mag for $2700, you can get a transom assembly for $1300 and a used bravo for $1500. Exhaust $1000. (I've seen complete used propulsion packages for $6000)

That puts it at about $7500 in parts so far. I'm sure that you would need another $1000 for other misc stuff that I can't think of.

This would be a good project for someone with the parts laying around that didn't mind doing some glass work.

Re: anybody out there??
 

the rest of the hull is balsa cored, but the transom was plywood

Re: anybody out there??
 

the reason I ask is the last time I was there in 97 Randy told me he was going to start useing balsa in the transoms and that he had 2 boats done with it already :eek:

Re: anybody out there??
 

I'm no boat builder, but that doesn't sound like a good idea...

Re: anybody out there??
 

Its not :eek:

Re: anybody out there??
 

I feel that the balsa is the better choice, I've done both. With marine plywood if you get a leak around any hole in the transom it will rot out the whole transom. With balsa, if it is installed correctly it will not. And in tests the balsa has better shear strength. It is much harder it install.

Re: anybody out there??
 

Wow, Kind of wished I know this before I bought my 96 27' Thats ok It seems my transom has not leaked yet. But I have cracks in the floor of the cockpit area and on each coner by the wind deflector.. I think this is an easy fix though. I just got the engine put togather and she runs and I am kind of wondering if the little amount of chine walk at 75 mph will flatten out. I have not gotten her over 76 mph on gps yet cause I am leary of this hull. I still have more stick left to give her. She has got about 650 to 700 hp in her now.

Re: anybody out there??
 

I had the same cracks in my 95 27 And have sean them in every one I've looked at. They do tend to get a little light at speed, be careful. how is your floor?( cockpit) Mine was like a spring board after a year. :rolleyes:

Re: anybody out there??
 

I have got a 29 with twin 502s runs low 80s have not had any touble with it great boat for the price

Re: anybody out there??
 

I didn't know there was any 29s with twin big blocks :cool: you need to post some pics

Re: anybody out there??
 

Only two where ever built

Re: anybody out there??
 

If I'm not mistaken they all came from pretty much the same mold. It's kind of hard to tell from your avatar, but the lines of the boat look alot like my 308.
